Using the Optical Zoom
With this function, you can make people and 
subjects closer, and landscapes can be 
captured in wide angle, with the 12 times 
optical zoom.
[Preparation]
• Set the mode dial except for [
]. (P25)

Aim the camera at the subject and 
adjust the size with the zoom lever.

Take a picture.
• The focus is adjusted at a distance of more 
than 120 cm (Tele)/30 cm (Wide). For details 
on simple mode/aperture-priority AE/
shutter-priority AE/macro mode, read P31/
P45/P46/P47.
• The picture may be slightly distorted 
according to the lens. The distortion will 
increase as you make subjects wider and 
closer.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an 
approximation.
• When using the zoom lens at high 
magnification the quality of the picture can 
be enhanced if a tripod is used. At high 
magnification, even small movements can 
cause a slight decrease in picture 
sharpness.
